Subtle cardiac dysfunction in lymphoma patients receiving low to moderate dose chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Left ventricular (LV) global peak systolic longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensitive measurement for detecting subtle LV systolic dysfunction and a powerful prognostic predictor. However, the clinical implication of LV GLS in lymphoma patients receiving cancer therapy remains unknown. We prospectively enrolled 74 lymphoma patients (57.9 ± 17.0 years old, 57% male). We performed echocardiographic studies after the 3rd and 6th cycles and 1 year after chemotherapy and a cardiopulmonary exercise test upon completion of 3 cycles of anticancer therapy. Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) was defined as a ≥ 15% relative reduction in GLS value from baseline. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure events. Thirty-six patients (49%) had CTRCD (LV GLS: baseline vs. after 3rd cycle of therapy: 20.1 ± 2.6 vs. 17.5 ± 2.3%, p < 0.001). CTRCD was detected after the 3rd cycle of anticancer therapy. CTRCD patients had impaired exercise capacity (minute oxygen consumption/kg, CTRCD vs. CTRCD (-): 13.9 ± 3.1 vs. 17.0 ± 3.9 ml/kg/min, p = 0.02). More primary outcome events occurred in the CTRCD group (hazard ratio 3.21; 95% confidence interval 1.04-9.97; p = 0.03). LV GLS could detect subtle but clinically significant cardiac dysfunction in lymphoma patients in the early stage of anticancer therapy. CTRCD may be associated with not only a reduced exercise capacity but also a worse prognosis.

Leptotrichia bacteremia in patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy.

Project description:Leptotrichia spp. are anaerobic, pencil-shaped, Gram-negative rods that are part of the normal oral and intestinal human flora. Although not typically considered pathogenic, invasive Leptotrichia infections have been reported in immunosuppressed patients. A perceived rise in the identification of Leptotrichia spp. at our institution prompted a retrospective evaluation of these infections. Laboratory and clinical records were reviewed to identify Leptotrichia culture-positive patients. Over a 5-year period, 68 Leptotrichia-positive specimens were identified. Of these, 21% (14/68) were identified in original samples submitted from 13 different patients at our institution, and the remainder (79% [54/68]) were unknown isolates referred from outside hospitals for molecular identification. All in-house Leptotrichia were identified from blood cultures. Only 64% (9/14) of these grew on solid media, and 5 were a part of polymicrobial bacteremias containing other enteric pathogens. All local patients were receiving chemotherapy and a majority received hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) (11/13). All had neutropenic fever with symptoms of mucositis and/or enteritis. Most of the HSCT patients (73% [8/11]) were autologous recipients hospitalized after recent high-dose chemotherapy for multiple myeloma. L. hongkongensis, a novel species, was found in the majority of myeloma cases (63% [5/8]). In conclusion, we suggest that Leptotrichia spp. may be an underappreciated cause of bacteremia, particularly in multiple myeloma patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy for autologous HSCT. In our cohort, these infections were associated with neutropenic fever from an enteric source, and most isolates remained sensitive to standard antibiotics.

Optimal cumulative cisplatin dose in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving additional induction chemotherapy.

Project description:To clarify the optimal cumulative cisplatin dose (CCD) in locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngel carcinoma (NPC) patients receiving induction chemotherapy (IC) plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Using the NPC-specific database from the established big-data intelligence platform at Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center, 583 non-disseminated, locoregionally-advanced NPC patients receiving IC plus CCRT were enrolled. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted to control for confounding factors. The median CCD was 160 mg/m2 after IC (range, 40-300 mg/m2 ); only 74 patients (12.7%) achieved CCD >200 mg/m2 . Patients receiving >200 mg/m2 CCD did not show significantly improved 5-year overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.19; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.69-2.06, P = .53) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 1.03; 95% CI: 0.63-1.68, P = .92) compared with patients receiving <200 mg/m2 CCD. Further investigations of the potential of median CCD (160 mg/m2 ) to yield survival benefits revealed that there were no significant differences in survival endpoints between patients receiving CCD >160 mg/m2 and CCD < 160 mg/m2 in both the original and PSM cohorts. In addition, subgroup analysis indicated a favorable PFS, but not OS, with higher cisplatin administration in patients with pretreatment Epstein-Barr virus deoxyribonucleic acid (EBV DNA) <1000 copies/mL (HR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.07-0.93, P = .03) and receiving <3 IC cycles (HR = 0.59, 95% CI 0.33-1.07, P = .08). Our analysis of real world data provided references for the optimal CCD in locoregionally-advanced NPC receiving additional IC. The causal relationship between 200 mg/m2 CCD and improved survival was not defined; 160 mg/m2 CCD might be enough. However, for patients with EBV DNA <1000 copy/mL and receiving <3 IC cycles, a higher dose might be necessary.

Contrast-Enhanced MRI Texture Parameters as Potential Prognostic Factors for Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma Patients Receiving High-Dose Methotrexate-Based Chemotherapy.

Project description:Introduction:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of texture features on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Methods:In this retrospective study, fifty-two patients diagnosed with PCNSL were enrolled from October 2010 to March 2017. The texture feature of tumor tissue on the histogram-based matrix (histo-) and the grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) was retrieved by contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging before any antitumor treatment. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to obtain their optimal cutoff values, based on which we dichotomized patients into subgroups. The Kaplan-Meier analyses were conducted to compare overall survival (OS) of subgroups, and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to determine if they could be taken as independent prognostic factors. Results:Ten texture features were extracted from the MR image, including Energy, Entropy, Kurtosis, Skewness on the histogram-based matrix, and Correlation, Contrast, Dissimilarity, Energy, Entropy, and Homogeneity on the grey-level co-occurrence matrix. Three of them (GLCM-Contrast, GLCM-Dissimilarity, and GLCM-Homogeneity) are shown to be significant in relation to overall survival (OS). The multivariate Cox regression analyses suggest that GLCM-Homogeneity could be taken as independent predictors. Conclusions:The texture features of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could potentially serve as prognostic biomarkers for PCNSL patients.

Influence of low-dose radiation on abscopal responses in patients receiving high-dose radiation and immunotherapy.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Preclinical evidence suggests that low-dose radiation may overcome the inhibitory effects of the tumor stroma and improve a tumor's response to immunotherapy, when combined with high-dose radiation to another tumor. The aim of this study was to evaluate tumor responses to this combination in a clinical setting. METHODS:A post-hoc analysis of 3 ongoing immunoradiation trials was performed. Twenty-six (of 155) patients received low-dose radiation (1-20 Gy total), either as scatter from high-dose radiation or from intentional treatment of a second isocenter with low-dose radiation, were evaluated for response. The low-dose lesions were compared to lesions that received no radiation (< 1 Gy total). Response rates, both defined as complete and partial responses as defined by RECIST criteria were used to compare lesion types. RESULTS:The 26 patients had a total of 83 lesions for comparison (38 receiving low-dose, 45 receiving no-dose). The average dose given to low-dose lesions was 7.3 Gy (1.1-19.4 Gy), and the average time to response was 56 days. Twenty-two out of 38 (58%) low-dose lesions met the PR/CR criteria for RECIST compared with 8 out of 45 (18%) no-dose lesions (P = 0.0001). The median change for longest diameter size for low-dose lesions was - 38.5% compared to 8% in no-dose lesions (P < 0.0001). Among the low-dose lesions that had at least one no-dose lesion within the same patient as a control (33 and 45 lesions respectively), 12 low-dose lesions (36%) responded without a corresponding response in their no-dose lesions; Conversely, two (4%) of the no-dose lesions responded without a corresponding response in their low-dose lesion (P = 0.0004). CONCLUSIONS:Low-dose radiation may increase systemic response rates of metastatic disease treated with high-dose radiation and immunotherapy.

Project description:Cardiotoxicity is the most important side effect of cancer therapy resulting in increased patient morbidity and mortality, therefore understanding its occurrence mechanism and a correct and early diagnosis are essential for patients at risk of irreversible heart failure. We present the case of a patient who developed cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction, emphasizing the importance of regular echocardiographic evaluation for early detection of subclinical cardiac dysfunction and further cardiac monitoring. More sensitive parameters should be used to predict cardiotoxicity because the probability of cardiac function recovery diminishes in time, despite optimal heart failure treatment.

High-dose methotrexate-based immuno-chemotherapy for elderly primary CNS lymphoma patients (PRIMAIN study).

Project description:To investigate immuno-chemotherapy for elderly immuno-competent patients (⩾65 years) with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma, we conducted a multicentre single-arm trial. One cycle consisted of rituximab (375 mg/m2, days 1, 15, 29), high-dose methotrexate (3 g/m2 days 2, 16, 30), procarbazine (60 mg/m2 days 2-11) and lomustine (110 mg/m2, day 2)-R-MPL protocol. Owing to infectious complications, we omitted lomustine during the study and consecutive patients were treated with the R-MP protocol. Three cycles were scheduled and repeated on day 43. Subsequently, patients commenced 4 weekly maintenance treatment with procarbazine (100 mg for 5 days). Primary end point was complete remission (CR) after 3 cycles. We included 107 patients (69 treated with R-MPL and 38 with R-MP). In all, 38/107 patients achieved CR (35.5%) and 15 (14.0%) achieved partial remission. R-MP was associated with a lower CR rate (31.6%) compared with R-MPL (37.7%), but respective 2-year progression-free survival (All 37.3%; R-MP 34.9%; R-MPL 38.8%) and overall survival (All 47.0%; R-MP 47.7%; R-MPL 46.0%) rates were similar. R-MP was associated with less ⩾grade 3 toxicities compared with R-MPL (71.1% vs 87.0%). R-MP is more feasible while still associated with similar efficacy compared with R-MPL and warrants further improvement in future studies.

Treatment outcomes and relative dose intensity of chemotherapy in patients with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:The present retrospective study was undertaken to investigate the association of relative dose intensity (RDI) with the outcome of patients with advanced stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) receiving ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) and escalated BEACOPP regimens (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone). A total of 114 patients with HL treated between 2004 and 2013 were enrolled for evaluation. The association of variables with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was analysed using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. The median age of patients was 39 years, and the majority were male and had stage IV disease. A total of 54 patients received ABVD and 60 received BEACOPP chemotherapy with 24 and four deaths, respectively. Patients in the BEACOPP group were significantly younger with lower Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and better performance status in comparison with the ABVD group, making the comparison of groups not possible. In the ABVD group, RDI was not significantly associated with OS (P=0.590) or PFS (P=0.354) in a multivariate model where age was controlled. The low number of events prevented this analysis in the BEACOPP group. The age of patients was strongly associated with both OS and PFS; all statistically significant predictors for OS and PFS from univariate analyses (chemotherapy regimen, CCI, RDI, performance status) lost their effect in multivariate analyses where age was controlled. Based on these observations, it was concluded that RDI was not associated with OS or PFS after age is controlled, neither in all patients combined nor in the ABVD group.

Low-dose T₃ replacement restores depressed cardiac T₃ levels, preserves coronary microvasculature and attenuates cardiac dysfunction in experimental diabetes mellitus.

Project description:Thyroid dysfunction is common in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) and may contribute to the associated cardiac dysfunction. However, little is known about the extent and pathophysiological consequences of low thyroid conditions on the heart in DM. DM was induced in adult female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats by injection of nicotinamide (N; 200 mg/kg) followed by streptozotocin (STZ; 65 mg/kg). One month after STZ/N, rats were randomized to the following groups (N = 10/group): STZ/N or STZ/N + 0.03 μg/mL T3; age-matched vehicle-treated rats served as nondiabetic controls (C). After 2 months of T3 treatment (3 months post-DM induction), left ventricular (LV) function was assessed by echocardiography and LV pressure measurements. Despite normal serum thyroid hormone (TH) levels, STZ/N treatment resulted in reductions in myocardial tissue content of THs (T3 and T4: 39% and 17% reduction versus C, respectively). Tissue hypothyroidism in the DM hearts was associated with increased DIO3 deiodinase (which converts THs to inactive metabolites) altered TH transporter expression, reexpression of the fetal gene phenotype, reduced arteriolar resistance vessel density, and diminished cardiac function. Low-dose T3 replacement largely restored cardiac tissue TH levels (T3 and T4: 43% and 10% increase versus STZ/N, respectively), improved cardiac function, reversed fetal gene expression and preserved the arteriolar resistance vessel network without causing overt symptoms of hyperthyroidism. We conclude that cardiac dysfunction in chronic DM may be associated with tissue hypothyroidism despite normal serum TH levels. Low-dose T3 replacement appears to be a safe and effective adjunct therapy to attenuate and/or reverse cardiac remodeling and dysfunction induced by experimental DM.
